IMPROVEMENT IN PLOWS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 23,938, dated May 10,1859.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAMSON NIoHoLs, of the county of Floyd and Stateof Georgia, have invented a new and useful Improved Iron Plow; and I dohereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the construction and operation of the same, referencebeing had tothe annexed drawings, making a part of this specification.

In the drawings, Figure 1 represents aside View of the plow, and Fig. 2a birds-eye View.

a is the point of the foot of the stock. Between letter a and dottedlines, letter I), the foot is solid; 0, rivet securing the lower part ofthe beam to the foot; cl, an iron rod connecting the handles.

From letter I) tojust above Figs. 1, 2, and 3 there is an open space allthe way to let in the beam. From this point, the open space continuing,the handles branch off.

0 is a bolt to attach the plow to the stock.

Figs. 1, 2, and 3 are holes to regulate the depth of the plow when inoperation by lowering or elevating the beam, thereby slanting or makingthe foot more erect.

f is a clevis, attached to the end ofthe beam by bolts 4 and 5. At Fig.4c the beam is widened, and contains three holes, g, directly across thesame, so that by changing the bolt the plow is so regulated that when inoperation you can either plow to or from whatever is worked. Any kind ofa plow can be used to this stock.

What I claim is- The arrangement of the forked beam G, segmental head F,holes g, bolts 4 and 5, olevisf, stock H, handles. Lrivet 0, and holes 12 3, the whole being constructed in the manner and for the purposes setforth.

WILLIAMSON 2 NIoHoLs.
